End of Conte

That’s it from the Chelsea boss after the win

17:50

Man City

It’s very difficult to think someone can stop them. They have won every game and drawn just once. For sure it was a pity to play them after only two days when we played Atletico and we came back. For sure it was a pity, sometimes who prepares this type of fixture must pay great attention and give every team the same possibility. Against Man City one team was a favourite and it was a pity.

Who prepare this fixture must pay great attention. We pay Qarabag on Wednesday and then we have Liverpool on Saturday. Is it normal this? I don’t think. If someone wants more balance they must pay great attention before the fixtures.

17:48

Same starting XI

We had lots of problems at the beginning, Hazard was one of those problems, he had a bad injury and played with us after 6 or 7 games. The starting XI was the same as the last game. Against Manchester United we played a really good game, we performed very well with the same players. We have to play a lot of games in the same way. We are in a good physical condition, Moses is progressing well. I hope to have him back from tomorrow and could have him after the Qarabag game.

17:46

Hazard

Today Eden played very well. I think he showed a great patience, despite some situations very strong. I played and I understand when you are against these types of players it is difficult to stop them, you try to find a different way to stop them. He has to continue in this way now that he is 100 per cent fit. He is enjoying to play with us.

17:44

Do you need the run?

It doesn’t depend on us, Man City are playing very well and having a fantastic result. We have to continue this way. We have to be compact and create chances to score. Another clean sheet and it’s important to find good solidity. You have to find the right balance with and without the ball. We are changing something, but we have to continue.

17:43

Go on a winning run?

I hope. Last season we won 13 games in a row and I must be honest in this league it is not simple. Every game you must have great concentration and you can lose points. It is important for us and our confidence. We started with many problems but we are trying slowly to find the right solution. I am very happy for the performance and commitment of my players.

17:42

Perfect game?

It was very important for us to start this period very busy with a good win. Against West Brom, we struggled a lot last season in both games, we struggled a lot and today I think the game because easy because we started very well with a great concentration and focus and solidity. We showed a great link between our strikers. This game became easy because we played very well. West Brom for me is a strong team physically. It is difficult to play against them, they have a great manager with good expereience. It was good for our confidence and we have important games. On Wednesday this will be the most important game of the season. A win puts us into the next round of the CL. To start our path in this way is very positive.

Conte is here

17:39

End of Pulis

He thinks that Conte is at the door, so makes an exit...Conte wasn’t there

17:37

Players giving their all?

They worked hard today, in general on both ends of the pitch the chances we didn’t take. Defensively it was very poor. I was pleased with the players, I thought they worked very hard.

17:35

Welsh job

I am too young for the Wales job

17:34

Right thing for the club?

If you get bad runs then that happens, you have to get results. I think the important thing that the decision is made is the right one for the club.

17:33

Programme notes

There are times when people are talking about now, but I have tried to build a strong club. The squad is stronger. We haven’t got the results we want.

17:32

Performance

The goals were awful and when you play against them you have to play better. They are all goals we shouldn’t be conceding

That winning feeling

Could that be Pulis' last game?

There was a lot of anger around The Hawthorns tonight for Tony Pulis. ‘Pulis Out’ was the chant being shouted at the end, so was that his final game as est Brom manager?
